A 10m mirror in orbit is not a big issue if it was done as a segmented mirror (e.g. what is planned for the Webb telescope) but to get to the "really cool" stage I would say that they would have had to deploy some sats that can work together to perform long baseline optical interferometry to get the same results as that 100m lens.
